Radar Detector Opinions
First let me start by saying i have had an Escort 9500 IX for several years. I love it, it has a learn capability so it does not give a lot of false alerts, and good radar distance sensitivity, red light camera locations, etc..... I’m looking to update to a new detector that is mobile and I can move to my other vehicle so I’m not interested for now to have it wired in. I have seen reviews on the Escort Max 360, 360C, Redline EX, I am an Escort fan not interested in a Velentine 1. I have also been looking at the Unidentifiable R3 which seems to test very high. Anyone here have a detector they like or any of the above you have any feedback on would be greatly appreciated. I prefer to stay with Escort butI am open. __________ |
I have/had nearly every type of detector/laser jammer (s) over the years..built ins and windshield..
that said I currently have 3 9500ix from when they were the rave and I'm slowly changing them out ..I don't run any 9500ix's myself but Wife/daughters (2) do... I just swapped out two for a Uniden r3 and Radenso XP since I got the new Radenso Pro-M I currently have along with my built in's (Bel) the following -V1 (old)..the king is dead..still works but so chatty now with BSM and no I'm not interested in updating or using Waze -Uniden R3 (6 months)...great..talk is a new firmware update soon coming with MRCD detection -Radenso XP (6 months)..great but Pro-M better -Radenso Pro-M..I just got it ...awesome and has MRCD which we have plenty here Bottom line get the Radenso Pro-M....high on recent tech...very quite,,very sensitive and small.... Just my .02...Uniden a strong consideration for second choice |
Oh and btw on a 991.1 at least you can snap off the roof console trim and there's a switched power source for a https://www.mirrortap.com/ up there

Thank you. Was really considering the R 3 based on all the testing. Will give the Radenso a serious look. |
I have the Escort 360 Max CI. On the surface it appears great. I have had Escorts in the past. I just don't have enough miles just yet to give you a full review. If it works as advertised it should be all that I'll ever need.

I have both the main protagonists in this space:
1) On my Porsche I have the ALP Laser Jammer with the NetRadar add ons. 2) On my Mercedes I have the Escort CI360 (which has both laser jamming and radar) I believe the Escort is the much better product. The NetRadar is an amateur product which in my opinion seems unfinished and has many flaws. I recommend the latest Escort. |
Pulled the trigger on the R3 today. Was torn between the R3 and the Radenso Pro M but just to much good data on the R3. Dissappointed that Escort is not up to the task and customer service seems to have gone down the tubes. Valentine 1 is just too dated arrows and all, does not have the distance detection that the R3 and Pro M have. Justt a little more insurance as Pcars seem to be a target on the expressways. I drive backroads mostly daily but need a little more protection at times. I am not a careless driver or a drag racer at every red light but I do feel if given the choice on who to ticket the Leo’s choose the 911 over the Camry. __________________ |
R3 is a very good choice..I doubt you have MRCD to deal with in your area and that would be the main reason I would have considered...also the filtering on the Pro=M seems very good but the R3 is no slouch either...it will serve you well and awe you with it's range..and the price is a real deal...good luck

On my 997.2 TTS I had the Escort 9500ci, but I can tell you that the KA range was not good at all, my outdated V1 had better range...when I traded in for the 991.1 TTS, I left the Escort installed so ended up using the V1’s for the past 1yr. A month ago I finally pulled the trigger on an R3, can’t say enough good things about the radar and Uniden’s customer service, happy camper here! Manuel |
Got my R3 yesterday. Running on the windshield till the Blendmount comes in Friday. I really like the R3. A lot of options for set up and it is very light and compact. If it does what the testing says it can do I will consider this a good buy.

I know the ownership group of Radenso Radar company personally, and the CEO was out in California a few weeks ago.
- Myself, the CEO, and a tech from GMG installed the new RC M system + the laser defense kit on my 2015 M5.. it's amazing, and I can't believe how small the control module is (it's also magnetic so can be taken off, and put in a cup holder, etc) - and how effective this system is + all the features that it has on it... https://radenso.com I haven't been up to date on radar technology to know what others are doing, but the reviews on how well Radenso systems work is the truth |
